Coming up this Shabbat at Ben David

February 2 - Message by Doug Friedman:

Title:

“Paul at War"

It’s the fall of 57 CE, and Paul is fighting to regain the trust people had in him when, with the Lord’s help, he first launched the Corinthian congregation 6 years earlier during his 2nd missionary journey. But he recognizes something that perhaps none of the Corinthians yet recognize that is absolutely key to winning this fight. Come on Shabbat and find out what that key is that Paul knows and others don’t!
